It Must Have Been Years Lyrics - Replicas - Gary Numan

A radio plays 'White Christmas' 

It's been doing that for years 

If someone leaves the station 

Oh please don't talk to strangers 

Can't you see they're not like us 

The vacant flesh of U.D.'s 

Stand leaning by the walls 

You can feel them thinking over 

Ways of merging with the thoughts 

You never dare to dream 

It must have been years 

It must have been years

Can You Guess The Song By The Emojis? 

Every Lyric From Shawn Mendes' Self-Titled New Album 

Watch Janelle Monáe's Sci-Fi film 'Dirty Computer' 

They want to relive all my memories 

Give me 'the service' daily 

Maybe it was mother 

I can't seem to remember 

Much at all these days 

Picture open doorways 

No pick-ups by the taxi boys 

Just a bed near the window 

And an old lamp by my pillow 

And the things I have to do 

It must have been years 

It must have been years 

The driver wants to touch me 

He mentions all the old cop bullshit 

I try to back away 

But he's so strong I just can't move 

Maybe I don't want to anyway 

Photos 

The time to leave is always 'soon' 

I wonder if I'm lying 

A vague feeling of panic 

As a man leaves saying "thank you" 

I blame it all on you 

It must have been years 

It must have been years
